I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and challenging life events. Getting to the point we realize we need help can be the first hurdle; the next one is to make sure the relationship you have with your therapist is the right fit for you. Nobody knows you better than you; trust your gut, and do what feels right for you.

My therapeutic approach is Trauma-Informed, Client-Centered, Holistic, and Strength-based. I work with adults navigating adjustment periods, trauma-related symptoms, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety.

Life's been a journey, and my childhood trauma made it a struggle. I am grateful that I attended college, where good friends helped me find my voice. But my childhood stuff lingered, it made it difficult to express myself. That's where Karen Briceno came in. She's been a game-changer, helping me untangle my thoughts and face things head-on. With her, I've figured out what's been bothering me and how to handle different situations. She has a uniquely creative way of approaching things, and I feel that it's been easier to communicate with others. Karen's helped me express myself better and set boundaries—things I never thought I could do. She just gets me and life's been way better since we started our conversations. Thank you, Karen.
